At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Shopkeeper Yu smiled so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth bloomed, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Husband, Madam, you praise him so much, I feel unworthy!"

After saying this, Shopkeeper Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Well, to be honest, I'm over forty and have long lost my ambitions. All I care about is that my two sons don't make any mistakes.

"Although this bookstore is just a small business, the monthly profit is enough to support the family. I am now thinking about making more money, simply to provide them with security after they start their own families.

"Although I'm a little reluctant, I've already thought it through. If neither of them wants to take over in the future, I can just hire a manager and have them withdraw money from the account every month.

"My eldest son loves to study. Although he's not very bright, he's an honest kid. He's a good teacher. But it's my youngest son who gives me the most headaches..."

Shopkeeper Yu looked very distressed and shook his head, saying, "He is very sympathetic to the poor and would help those in need when he encountered injustice. I am proud of his kindness. Originally, being a hero is about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, but, but I went to him and he provoked the wrong people and put himself in danger.

"I've also seen years of famine. Right now, Anping Town is relatively peaceful. But if this situation isn't resolved, given his temperament, I'm afraid chaos will break out sooner or later..."

Lin Qing didn't expect that just a simple sentence from her would lead to such a long speech by Manager Yu, but she understood Manager Yu's deep love for the child.

"It's said that parents who love their children will plan for them long-term. I believe your two children will understand my painstaking efforts. Besides, I heard that the imperial court's disaster relief grain will be delivered soon..."

Shopkeeper Yu agreed with the first half of Lin Qing's words, but as for the disaster relief grain from the imperial court, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, but did not explain further.

When Yu Biwen came over, he happened to hear his father talking about hiring a shopkeeper for the bookstore. He thought to himself that Old Man Yu was really old, like old wine in a new bottle, and he could talk a lot to anyone.

But when she heard his proud praise and earnest concern, she seemed to be nailed to the spot, and her movement to push the door open was abruptly stopped.

This was the first time he heard his father acknowledge him without hesitation.

He didn't expect that his father, who was always cold and indifferent to him and tried to stop him from going out to fight injustice, would understand and have such high expectations of him.

It was only then that he realized that his father's deep love for him was hidden in those seemingly obstructive words.

While he was moved, Yu Biwen still shuddered with goosebumps all over his body and couldn't help muttering softly.

"Dad... Humph, why didn't you say that to my face? Why did you have to say it to a stranger you've only met a few times, and even say it in such a corny way."

Not only him, but Shopkeeper Yu also felt a little strange.

This was his plan hidden deep in his heart, so how could he tell it to Lin Tingting so easily?

"Madam, please forgive me for laughing. I really overstepped my bounds today and said so much nonsense to you. Please don't take it to heart..."

Lin Qing smiled and said, "I think Manager Yu is very honest. In business, who doesn't want to make more money so that their wife and children can live a good life? I have a good idea here. Would you like to consider it?"

"what?"

Shopkeeper Yu looked at her blankly, unable to understand why her ideas were so wild.

I invited her in to ask about membership cards, how come it suddenly became a business discussion?

Just at this moment, Yu Biwen came in carrying a kettle, took down a celadon vase from the antique shelf with ease, took out a piece of tea cake from the vase, broke off a piece and threw it into the teapot.

When boiling hot water was poured in, the fragrance instantly filled the room.

Shopkeeper Yu stared at his son's actions in amazement, pointing his finger at him with trembling hands, gritting his teeth so hard that he could hardly breathe, as if he would faint at any moment.

No wonder, no wonder he felt that the tea cake was drunk so quickly!

He suspected that the shop had been invaded by termites and rats, and that people who had drunk his tea might have come back and taken away the tea while he wasn't paying attention. He never imagined that it was difficult to guard against a thief in one's own home no matter how hard one tries!

Yu Biwen naturally felt the burning gaze behind him, but he was certain that his father would not beat him in front of this lady. He took the teacup and poured a cup for everyone, smiling flatteringly.

"Father, since the lady is your honored guest and has important business to discuss with you, she must be worthy of the snow-capped peak, right?"

After he finished speaking, he delivered another heart-wrenching blow.

"Dad, you are not reluctant to let me go, are you?"

Shopkeeper Yu gritted his teeth and said, "How could it be!"

Lin Qing naturally noticed the pained look on Shopkeeper Yu's face, but the meat was already in the pot and the tea had been brewed, so it would be impolite to refuse now.

"I hope the business I'm talking about is worth your sacrifice, Manager Yu."

Shopkeeper Yu's smile was a bit forced, and he said, "Madam, it's just a joke. Have some tea first, have some tea!"

Lin Qing and the others smelled the sharp aroma of tea and felt their spirits lifted.

Taking a sip, I seemed to see a tea tree that had strayed into the clouds on the top of a snowy mountain. The frost and north wind did not kill it, but instead made its fragrance more sharp.

The snow-capped top is covered with green, which truly lives up to its name.

It's no wonder that Manager Yu feels sorry for it. This Xueding Hancui is a famous tea produced in the snow-capped mountains of Ganzhou. The annual output is only ten kilograms, all of which are sent to the palace as tribute. The part that flows into the people is the emperor's reward, but that is only a very small part.

It was really by chance that Manager Yu got this piece of tea cake.

He was on his way back to Jizhou from the capital after purchasing goods when he was robbed by a group of bandits.

This group of thieves is really bold. They actually dared to attack on the official road!

Looking at the robbed convoy, there were actually four carriages. He thought to himself that among all the civil and military officials in the court, only a few princes could afford four carriages. He wondered who was sitting in the carriages?

The time passed in a flash, and he chose to take action without hesitation.

He doesn't think people should be divided into different classes. Even if the person in distress today is a beggar, he will lend a helping hand.

Anyway, he had some martial arts skills and also carried poison darts for self-defense.

More importantly, he was in the dark and could catch the robbers off guard.

With his help and the dedication of the official's guards, the group of thieves fell to the ground in a short while.

Shopkeeper Yu originally wanted to do good deeds without leaving his name, but the person sitting in the carriage actually spoke.

From the sound of her voice, I could tell she was a rather dignified, elderly lady. Although she had not revealed her identity nor showed up, just by looking at the beautiful maidservant who got off the carriage and was dressed so gorgeously, I knew that her background must be extraordinary.

The maid said that they were relatives of officials in the capital, and they went out to burn incense at Guanyin Temple in the suburbs of the capital. Somehow they were targeted by thieves, and fortunately he came to their aid.

Shopkeeper Yu took the exquisite brocade box handed to him by the other party, and before he could refuse, the other party turned and left, leaving behind only a gust of fragrant wind.

He was choked by the dust raised by the departing carriage and started coughing.

Looking down at the corpses scattered all over the ground, he was too frightened to stay any longer.
